Emma had a small flashlight and was running around the house looking at and under things. She got to the couch and I heard, “Wow, the dust bunnies are havin’ a party under dere.”
She has also invented a “game” with Addison, called Battle Ball. You have a ball, she has a ball. Thankfully, one is a blow-up dollar-store beach ball, the other is almost as big and soft. Each person throws the ball at the other person at the same time. You have to try and catch it. Fun starts when the balls hit each other and fly off in various directions. Yes, they play this in the living room.
Which leads me to when I walked into the living room the other night, I exclaimed “How’d this place get so messy?” Pillows were everywhere, couch cushions were off, the widnwo dressing was.. ugh. Toys were scattered, food was on the floor, a drinking glass was on every flat surface. Emma told me very seriously. “I had a party.”
Emma was also exploring our overly-crowded attic and found her puppy on a string. We were tickled as she loves it just as much as she used to, but whenever we each asked her about “Fish-Pup” she’d give us a look. “Don’t you remember?” Addison asked her, explaining how she saw the tag when she was little and thought it said Fish Pup, for the puppy’s name. She wrinkled her forehead at us. “No, it doesn’t say that. It says Fisher Price!”. Then she muttered “sheesh!” under her breath and rolled her eyes at us.
Just now, she wanted me to look at the book she picked up at the library. It’s the history of Looney Tunes, and as I turned the pages, she explained about storyboards. Her vocabulary is pretty intense at times.
She’s also very interested in left and right.
Please thank Emma and tell her battle ball is all the rage in Chicago now, but must be restricted to the out-of-doors.
How cute! I especially liked the dust bunny party! LOL
Love these gems!
